Overhead Railways as shown in official screenshots.

[goremaniac]

Hi,

I was wondering which NewGrf's where used for constructing overhead intercity metro as shown in the "official screenshots".

http://www.openttd.org/en/screenshot/1. ... ongvorarat

I tried using the "metrotrk-1.1.0" bundle with "2cctrainset.grf" however I am not able to get it working. I am doing something wrong in parameters settings or this functionality does not exists and instead it's just a monorail on a bridge (does not seems like that as we can clearly see a road bridge with railway on it)

Sorry for asking basic question and in this forum. It was either posting in the newgrf forum or Openttd problems forum. I thought this is best place to ask question as it deals with newgrf's.

Thanks
Regards
Goremaniac.

You want the tram to suspended monorail conversion set. I can not remember exactly what it is called.

Methinks it is this one: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=38413

[Univ] Urban Suspended Monorail (Tramway Replacement) (v1.0) seems to be one, well kind of similiar.

However the tracks shown in the image seem to be different. This is actually a beautiful feature. Any reason why this isn't part of openttd as a new road type (rather than replacing trams).

Because RoadTypes aren't available yet

Hi,
What bridge set is that in that screenshot?
Because I think that's what is making the suspended monorail tracks look different...

The monorail tracks in the screenshot are my ones from the thread you linked. The reason they look different in the screenshot is that they have been built on a long bridge over the city. The bridge provides an additional archway over the road (like the default tubular bridges) which makes the tracks look different... I'm not sure which set the bridges are from.

Well hopefully (fingers crossed!) a feature which allows introduction of road types, like rail types, may be coded in the future... It is an "official" desired feature, see http://hg.openttd.org/developers/peter1 ... dtypes.hg/, but there has been no work on it for a long time.

Those bridges might be from the Traffic Set 3.0, but I don't have a way to confirm it right now.

I think its just a bridge built over a road with no houses
